Unter Dampf: Thomas Newcomen, James Watt und die Entwicklung einer neuen Kraftmaschine (Under steam: Thomas Newcomen, James Watt and the development of a new power engine) (2020)
Die Dampfmaschine führte erstmals vor Augen, wie tiefgreifend und rasch eine neue Technik die Welt verändern kann. Ihre Erfindung und Perfektionierung steht beispielhaft für den Aufstieg der Naturwissenschaften. Was anfangs eine nur begrenzt nützliche und eher kuriose Erfindung war, um beispielsweise Wasserspiele in barocken Gärten zu betreiben, wurde zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts zu einer Maschine, um Grubenwasser zu heben und den Steinkohlenbergbau in immer größere Tiefe zu treiben. Der große Durchbruch gelang James Watt mit seiner Kolbendampfmaschine, die zum Motor der Industriellen Revolution wurde, mit tiefgreifender und anhaltender Wirkung für die Menschheit. (The steam engine was the first to demonstrate how profoundly and rapidly a new technology could change the world. Its invention and perfection exemplifies the rise of the natural sciences. What was initially only a limitedly useful and rather curious invention, for example to operate water features in baroque gardens, became a machine at the beginning of the 18th century to lift mine water and drive coal mining to ever greater depths. The great breakthrough came with James Watt's piston steam engine, which became the engine of the Industrial Revolution, with profound and lasting effects for mankind.)
